Congratulations, Marissa. I remember that New Beginning when it first appeared on this blog. It's great to see a fellow minion achieve success, it gives the rest of us hope. Best wishes on future success.

You're right, talpianna--that New Beginning is from a different story--a YA fantasy that's till being worked on. And yes, there's more to come--a sequel called Betraying Season is due out in May 2009 and a third book after that, probably 2010.

Hey Mr. EE,Big fan of the blog, of course. I've navigated the rutted road to publication and benefitted mightily from your hilarious instruction. I scored an agent last year. My middle grade novel "A Taste For Red" will debut in Spring 2009 from Clarion Books. When folks ask how I landed my agent, I give them the low down on the querying process and direct them to your site for the latest and greatest in back-handed insight. You've been a great help! Thank you! Thank You! The cover art for my book has finally arrived and is up at my work-in-progress website www.lewisharrisbooks.com I've read all your posts and am a definite EE success!Thanks!
